The IRON MAN teaser site launches with nifty logo!!!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a link to the teaser/logo site for Jon Favreau's IRON MAN. Favreau announced it today on his MySpace Page and I really dig the logo design. Very cool, simple... feels right, you know? The flick goes into production early next year with Terrence Howard as Rhodes and Robert Downey Jr. as the man behind the mask himself. Click the image below to visit the site!!!

After seeing this pic, I definitely will avoid this movie. Never in my life have I been so disgusted with this representation of a comic book movie...and this is just the pic! You geeks should all get together and boycott this film!

This is all wrong! Anyone who's seen the Iron Man logo knows it's not supposed to look even *remotely* like this. It just shows a total lack of respect for the fans, critics, porn stars, and the deaf. This is not the Iron Man logo I grew up with. They may as well call this movie Zinc Man. IMLINO!!!!

Since it's Jon Favreau, the logo is awesome. If it were Brett Ratner, the same logo would have sucked. If it were George Lucas, the logo would have raped everyone's childhood. If it were Michael Bay, the logo would represent everything that's wrong with filmmaking. If it were Tarantino, Harry would have posted the logo himself and used some really inappropriate language about his anatomy to describe it. If it were Spielberg, the logo would have been WOTW SUCKED! SHUT UP MUNICH ROCKED! and so forth.

It's just a teaser POSTER!!! I swear you guy's just bitch to get guy's like me pissed off...well done. And if you want the "original" suit then you should want the original dialouge with the original time-line to go with it. Keep it modern. The suit, the story, Tony's problems and genius. And when Rhodes suits up, play Kiss' "War Machine"! That would be sweet. "Gonna bite the hand that feeds me!" ....sorry.

It would be fine if it was for the upcoming animated movie, but it's for the live action one! it should be high tech and cool looking, not this cartoony font with cartoone chest ray (or wathever it's called)

Yet you cannot seem to make the rather simple leap of turning the light emanating from the circle green instead of yellow, which would make it look virtually exactly like Green Lantern's lantern.
Interesting.

Pack away the Pythonesque, condescending verbage. Comic Book Guy resurrected that dead horse ages ago and buried it soon thereafter. The graphic also looks like the fucking headlamp on The Polar Express or the Hogwart's Express...but it isn't is it? You seem incapable of making the simple deduction that it is what it is. Now, go home and let granny dig that Optimus Prime outta your ass.

There could have been more to it. Iron man's design is all about the way the pieces of armour move over one another so they could have introduced some sort of carapace design to the lettering. Also aren't the eyes more iconic than the disk in the centre of the chest? I'm interested to see where they go with this pic butfrom this I just get a "meh".

The better part of me thinks that I should let this go, since this discussion is obviously the most important conversation that you are going to participate in this year.
And I would hate to spoil that for you.
Though, at the same time, since you yourself name at least two examples of others things that the logo looks like, it means that you too must be some sort of moron, no;)

You know, ...I continue to be sadly disappointed when it comes to any news on this project. I'm quite a large fan of IRON-MAN... but wow, where is this thing headed??? Somebody, please, ...tell me, ...how does this logo has anything to do with iron? Oh, yeah, I get it. It must be the "man" that holds more influence over the design. Yeah. RRRRrrrriiight. --People, get a clue. Just look at the history of "IRON-MAN" comic book logos and pull from that, ...at least to SOME degree. But then, this production does nothin' but piss me off... so why should I help you? --You know, within those rounds with Sly Stallone, he described the difference between action stars of years past compared to today. IRON-MAN is a man of those days past (with a mind for modern technology). I respect Robert Downey Jr., ...enough, ...as an actor. But he will never be Tony Stark, in my eyes.

My wife's reaction was, "Lame." She continued, "And besides, that looks like the Green Lantern logo." And you know what? She's right. I could easily see the white circle having the symbolic green lantern inside. --OK, that's all I'm helping you people. For now, anyway.

My thoughts exactly. This should have been a picture of Downey in a gutter with a bottle of whiskey and people would say WTF? The way they did the first time they saw the old bat logo ads that were so effective, but are now so overdone as to be meaningless, like this one....

Really. He has that Debonair Tony Stark Charm, but also inner rage and mania. To me Downey is sort of an over the hill slob type, I dont really believe him being an agile warrior. SO what was it, Howard not a big enough name? Or some kind of BS relectance of a black lead? In any case he would have been perfect and Downey loses credibility.

Ya know, I give Depp his props on being a good actor; but I've got two problems with him as Stark: 1) He's too slim & pretty. I envision Stark having somewhat more heft and a grizzled, rugged charm. And 2) when I watch Depp acting I have trouble forgetting that it's Depp acting. When I see Downey, I have trouble remembering that it's Downey. So I'm definitely down with Downey. And Favs has an open-ended line of geek cred at my bank. I'll take time off from work to see this film.
